Dover station (Ken's Trackside Restaurant) is good, but make sure you get a
seat by the window (just ask!) The view isn't as appealing as it was when
there wasn't a center platform, but oh well....

Mountain Lakes station (The Station at Mountain Lakes Restaurant) is now a
"casual fine dining" restaurant. The food is excellent, but a but pricey
(figure you'll pay $40-$60/person there). And no jacket required! You can go
in wearing off-the-street clothes, no problem. The outdoor dining experience
is great, and it's fun to watch the NJT westbounds in the evening here.

The Rattlesnake Ranch Cafe in Mt. Tabor is a great lunchtime place, too. We
often go there from work and eat in the outdoor area. We usually see quite a
few commuter trains, and often times, the Morristown & Erie local returning
-From Lake Junction... food's good, too, and well priced!
